  Like dams on lakes, daylight savings time is obviously stupid, but kept around because we Americans hate change. Here is a system that was created for an agrarian economy, or at least a culture that needed sunlight to get most of its work done. This isn't the norm anymore. On the contrary, most people work under fake lights with little or no sunlight in offices or factories. What does benefit from sunlight is a little outdoor time with your kids when you get home, or maybe a healthy walk, but do we prioritise that over tradition? Not a chance. We'll give your morning commute the extra hour and kids be damned.
